1. How important is the "organic" part of this to you? And
how much do you hate going to the store? And don't you have to go to the store for other things anyways, so it isn't a special trip? I think it is too much for it, but I don't know what organic canned goods go for. Maybe for that it is a bargain.

2. Less than a buck a can, delivered? Sounds good to me.

4. What size cans? What year are they from? Are they undamaged?
Sounds like a good deal, as long as you like canned green beans...

6. For me, no.

But I don't have a problem getting to the grocery store. If you need groceries delivered, that's a different story.

Today I bought 4 18.5 oz cans of progresso italian wedding soup, normally $2.19 per can. My out of pocket cost was one dollar, but I made it back because I got a register coupon for a dollar off my next order. I can do that 24 more times if I get motivated, which will result in 100 cans of soup ($219 retail) that I can donate to a food pantry at no cost to me. I'm trying to psyche myself up for the follow through on that.

7. Shipping included?
If so, then yes. That is a good deal.

9. Fairish...
24 cans of generic supermarket tomatoes would run about $16 here. Muir Glen is a pretty good brand. You're probably paying about $5 for "organic" and delivery.
